When I was leaving at tea time to thaw out I got talking some members on their way home and they were fuming at Bostock's comments.

Dobell is right. These executives don't have the interests of the game at heart, they just want to fill their own bank accounts.
What happened?No one should be surprised at his comments. The contempt he holds his own county's members in was perfectly illustrated by the farcical events in the 2021 T20 home game against Northants - this after over 1500 of them had donated their membership fees to the club the previous season.
Handed over one of the popular parts of the ground at very short notice to busloads of University students for a booze up.What happened?
What happened?
2021 it was still during covid restrictions, the club hosted them in the county durham lower and part of the trapdoor stand and basically they took the piss. around 2000 of them. now bearing in mind the general public for this game and earlier games we were having to adhere to strict rules with masks/not sitting on end seats, the stewards were shit hot with it, one even running after my wife struggling on her crutches because she wasn't wearing a mask.What the fuck happened last year like?
It was mentioned at the ground yesterday that there's 4000 students booked in for the first T20 home game this time, twice as many as last time.Handed over one of the popular parts of the ground at very short notice to busloads of University students for a booze up.
as long as they do what theyve done more recently and shipped them all into gate 5, gave them their own stand and own bars and let the rest of the crowd go about the ground as normal, id imagine they will want them in the ground for longer that day as the women play in the afternoon so sell more beer, hope its policed and stewarded properly if thats the caseIt was mentioned at the ground yesterday that there's 4000 students booked in for the first T20 home game this time, twice as many as last time.

As others have said the T20 student game will be against Birmingham on 31st May. Looking on the Invades website there are tickets available if any SMBers want to get in amongst it all INVADES Durham T20 // The Cricket Summer Shindig 2024 tickets on Friday 31 May | Invades | FIXRas long as they do what theyve done more recently and shipped them all into gate 5, gave them their own stand and own bars and let the rest of the crowd go about the ground as normal, id imagine they will want them in the ground for longer that day as the women play in the afternoon so sell more beer, hope its policed and stewarded properly if thats the case

"governing body,sic ECB, who are your main funders and your main decision-makers"Your link isn't a proper link, you need to use the inster link button above.
Anyways, I see nothing wrong here. He can't keep being at war with the ECB (as he says) it's not practical.
Well yea. I mean anyone whop seen any of my post on the Hundred would gather (I hope) that I'm not a fan, to say the least."governing body,sic ECB, who are your main funders and your main decision-makers"
That's what's erroneous -ECB aren't the main funders and decision makers,or shouldn't be. They're merely the administrative body,or should be, of the stakeholders,of whom the counties should be the most influential ones.It's a classic case of the tail wagging the dog. So the 16.4 and franchise proliferate at the expense of CC,the feeder for test cricket which is by far the biggest source of revenue. Bostock is perpetuating the myth by his endorsement. Goodbye to the beautiful game.
